And where will the shortfall in revenue come from?

I think that we should cut expenses before we cut revenue.

Too bad that the post office is not fully closing the 3000+ rural post offices they planned to. But the new plan of partial hours is better than nothing.

It if makes it less convenient for the rural voters to vote by mail, then tough luck. As far as I know, convenience is not written in the Constitution.

Also, if we allow the telcos to operate based on market forces and shutdown unprofitable areas, the rest of use would enjoy cheaper service. It about the freedom that job creaters have to operate based on profits.[/quote]

Uh, Brian, is that you, or did someone steal your handle? You’re advocating market forces and profitability as being a determining factor in decision making? You know where all this might lead, don’t you?
